My broody is on a break! It always stresses me out when she comes off the nest. This is what goes through my mind: "Oh know what if she doesn't go back! The eggs will die" But she always goes back!

Same I always feel that way to with my broody light Sussex

Yes day 21 was last night. I wasn't going to do it until after this next pipped chick hatches, and then only if I still didn't see rocking, no movement on candling, and no chirping heard inside. I haven't seen any rocking from the last two eggs in three days.

Click on the little quotes button on the bottom corner of the post you want to highlight then at the bottom of the screen you should see highlighted in blue something along the lines of quote ready and you click on that and type away. The origional post will be highlighted in your new post. It took me forever to figure out lol

I know I will be. Today was a little startling because it didn't sound like a crow LOl. But when he gets it worked out, I can think of no better alarm clock sound!
